shape?
charleen
We got frost last night.
36, now.
new pic's of angels moonlight
They are looking great, Charleen!
Dee
Just went outside and looked at Protection my GH made for one's outside.
It will work. you know I did take a pic. Here's the baby's
Are they planted in the ground or still in pots? Lookin' good!!!
Dee
Still in pots, but seriously thinking about planting them there this spring.
I don't believe DH would care. He fixed them up there for me. He is
a keeper. Sometimes ^_^ I guess they are all. He is a good fella.
Charleen
Look at the bloom!
Isn't it amazing that they still bloom, at these temps? Yep,our DH's are good to have around..lol
Dee
the inside of the bloom reminds me of a quilt. Have you ever just looked
at one wide open?? It is beautiful and it lookes like it is quilted..
I love them,
Charleen
Yes, it does!Charleen, I have to get off of here and get some things done, before heading over to my daughters..Everyone is well over there and back to work and school, so it's back to life as usual.Talk to ya tonight.
Dee
O.K. you 2 the boxes are off in the mail, you both got Angels Moonlight, as well as some other ones, I sent you both a log, as well as some Y's, hopefully you get them by wednesday, later on I will take a pic, of some that are blooming in the basement, it was a busy morning for me, I went to the bank to get the money for my washer repair, then came back home & called them, the repairman, won't be out till tommorrow, darn it, I need to do laundry, it's a good thing I have about 20 pairs of jeans, the pump went out, it makes me mad too, that washer isn't but 3 yrs old, next time I will get a maytag or at least an extended warranty
Oh Dee wanted to know my new babies, Arborea, Klara Baums, Silver Dawn & Allaquippa, that's all I can think of right now, oh Angels Sunbeam
Elizabeth
Charlene
look at you, that Bloom is georgeous, they all look so healthy, good job you're doing, I have loved Brugs, from the first ime I seen on, that's 9yrs ago, & I have been growing them since 2001, each year you learn so much about them
next year, hopefully I will be crossing them, to get seeds, my GH looks good, I am not heating it so about the first of November I will have to bring those in, I want to see a couple bloom before I have to bring them in
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, isn't the bloom Beautiful.?
I love themso much. The ones in my living room look so funny without their leaves,
but they are blooming. I'm so glad. Got starts of Ros of sharons stuck in the dirt.
Got tree seeds planted yesterday. Got Dee's hardy banana planted, got my Allium
Planted , the walking iris. Need to move my Naked ladies. Maybe tomarrow.
Got a pot of Soup going in Crock pot. so been soerta busy. Did you see where husband fixed the babies?
Behind all that stuff.
Charleen
Charlene
I did see where hubby fixed babies, I have gone back a couple times, looked at your beauty's, tell hubby we're proud of him, mine carried my potting soil to the basement door, after me begging, but he did it, painted lady is blooming in the basement, I will get pic's later, taking a break right now, I look at all the plants in the basement I can't believe, I did that all by myself, the one plant I have a problem with, is where do I put my Duranta, I think I will put it & my lemon verbenni
in the attic where it will get natural light
Elizabeth
Sounds like you've both had a busy day!
Elizabeth, I looked up your new babies.Arborea has a neat bloom and Allaquippa is beautiful! I couldn't find anything on Klara Baums and Silver Dawn. Tell us about them, please, especially Silver Dawn...I love the name..Dee
It really has been a nice day. got 3 pkg.
ready to be mailed ith Brug cuttings
Will do that tomarrow, have to go to Dr. in AM so I have to
take DH to work and come back, I'll take pkg. to P.O.
when I go to Dr.
Charleen
It was another beautiful day here ...66 degrees, right now..Hope everything goes good at the Dr.'s tomorrow, Charleen. I have one more box to mail, and I think I'm done shipping plants for the season...Dee
There is always something, isn't there. She is going to talk about my Colestrol,
nothing drastic.
I bet you're not, Dee. ^_^
Hush, now, girl. I'm ready to be done...then someone posts a cutting that I want, then off I go to lala land..lol,,seeing if I have anything they can use.
I'm glad that it's nothing too serious,at the Dr.'s office.
Dee
We are always lusting over some plant, are we???Dee.
I went out and cut off side shoots today. They look like little logs laying here.
One with the Y on it. Guess I'll see what I can do with it. Send off some.
charleen
I put Pumpkin in my back bath, so light much in there. Poor thing.
Dee
I have lusted over Allaquippa, ever since the first time I saw it, they have a random photo gallery, that's where I saw it
it's beautiful, now I have it, Hmmmm what can I say about Silver Dawn, all I can say is it's beautiful, you know as these bloom I will post Pic's, which reminds me I will have pic's later, I have to run downstairs to take them, Painted Lady
was blooming light pink in the ground, now in the basement it's dark pink
Elizabeth
I'm gonna look. I know i is going to be beautiful.
Charleen
Charlene
would you believe I left a spider plant out, i just missed it, the frost didn't kill, I don't know how I missed it, it was hanging in my tree, amazing, the moonflower is all frost bitten, but the spider plant is fine
Elizabeth
You may be able to cut back the moonvine and let it come back.
I got mine here behind me. I have no luck with Spider plants for some reason.
But you wouldn't know it by how many plants I got in here now.
Charleen
Charlene
have you counted your plants, I will in the next week, I have about 20 seedlings, most of them are from seeds this spring
the thing with Brug seeds, you never know what you're going to get, now I have abou 50 seeds to get ready this Feb. thats my favorite month, because it's so short, also that's when the cliva's bloom, thats also one of my favorites, it doesn't have a scent, but the bloom makes up for it
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, my clivia has never bloomed. I want it to, but it hasn't. I looked up Allaquippe and got something in Pa. But no brugs. Do I have to go to something else?
I haven't chopped up the tops yet. Still have blooms. I have two Tops (Y) in glass water, 5 logs behind me, dry.
Charleen
Charlene
I hadn't found Allaquippa either, untill I joined BGI, they have, a classified ad section, that's where I found it, i's georgeous, I think it's one of Monica's, I have about 3 that was her's, she is the most amazing Brug grower, she's from Germany
are you going to try the log method, you will have the chance, I sent you 2 logs
Elizabeth
Why not?? It won't hurt and it is something we can all try and watch the results. HUH?
Yes, Monica has some Amazing Brug. have been Looking at some of them on a link
GordonHawk has. I love to read these different forums, you learn so much from them.
charleen
I'm back.There is a pic of it in the plant files.

Dee
Oh, that is very pretty.
Thanks, Dee.
Charleen
Dee & Charlene

Elizabeth
Another one
Elizabeth
Oh, Elizabeth. I would be staying down there with them. Makes me want to walk into
it. Absolutely Beautiful.I love the white/pink skirts on the blooms. So cute.
thanks you for the Pic.
Charleen
Oh my goodness, you couldn't pry me up out of there either.Look at all those beautiful plants!
Dee
Elizabeth what is the plant with the little purple bloom(center, left).
Dee
Another one
It looks like a tropical paradise.
it is so pretty.
Lo ve it.
Charleen
Dee
that's a Duranta, I really liked it, the only place I found it wanted $36.00 for it, too rich for my blood, so I waited, they got it in at lowes last year, I still wouldn't pay the price they were asking, so when they started marking them down I got for $8.99, this is my second winter with it
Elizabeth
Yes, it is beautiful, and lots of bright light!
Dee
I'm gonna have to read about Duranta, now. I really like it too! you can tell that we are plant sisters. I am always waiting on plant sales...lol
Dee
You did great Elizabeth. a third of the price.
I think they should charge that price all the time istead of the higher price.
Charleen
Charlene
thank you for the compliment
Dee
when we first got this house that basement was so dark, I caught paint on sale for $5.00 a gal. I bought all the white they had, it took me 3 months, to get all the walls painted, then I painted the floor, light gey porch paint, it went really good with the white walls, now it's really bright down there, of course DH had to hang the lights for me but he did
Elizabeth
